| Maintenance | I prefer to gently remove the dead leaves in the spring. Gently is the key word since some Heuchera do not produce stout clumps and pieces are easily broken off. Heuchera may frost heave and a mulch will help prevent this. If they do heave, gently push the plants back into the ground or digging in to reset the plant. Do this in the spring. Rejuvenation by division may be need as the plants get older and form thick heavy stems at the base of the plant. Depending on the species some will produce a prodigious amount of flower scapes and these should be deadheaded. |
| Propagation | division of rhizome |
| Cultivar Origin | Discovered as a naturally occurring sport of Heuchera ‘Caramel’ in a nursery bed in Hantay, France in July of 2002. |
| Author's Notes | The foliage color is hard to figure out for this plant. I have seen it a very bright yellow and also a very green yellow. I think it depends on the light conditions. |
